The March 05 issue of GM Hi Perf does confirm that the C6 ZO6 will come with a 7.0L. It also mentioned a version with a supercharger that GM has been working on for a while dubbed "Project "Blue Devil." I thought that the LS7 WAS "blue devil"?

It also mentioned that the XLR will have an optional handbuilt supercharged Northstar. Sounds like GM is back in the game as well as MOPAR!

Who knows about the Blue Devil these days. Originally it was rumored to be a twin-turbo version of the LS7 making well upwards of 600hp, but it seems that the rumors have kinda died recently. Regardless, there's some impressive stuff rolling out of Detroit these days.

BTW, I see you have a 1990 ZR-1 listed in your sig.

I can't wait to see this ZO6. It's gonna be sick. I still can't believe that GM is going to come out with this car.

I'm not surprised that GM is producing the new Z06 with these awesome specs, but I will be surprised if a "Blue Devil' ever shows its face....man I hope it does.

What makes everyone so sure that they are going to call the upgraded C6's a Z06?

I think they will call it something else, afterall the upgraded C5's were designated as Z06.

All of the pictures that have made their way onto the internet (including those linked in the first post of this thread) have shown the car bearing Z06 badges...

I have seen them. Could be a decoy.

Not that it really matters, just thought they might change it up.

i've always wondered about this

The upgraded C5s were called "Z06" to commemorate the original Z06 Corvette from 1963. It was GM's first real racebred car released on the streets...

"Z06" is not a badge belonging to the C5 in the first place, so I see no reason for it not to continue with the C6.

Oh, and BlurLS1 - It's Z06... the number zero, pronounced "oh" like the letter

Anybody know the market value for a kidney, gall bladder, couple of pints of blood and a couple of "spurts" in the artificial ensimination (sp?) bank???

I want either a black one, or a dark metallic silver...

Slobber!

The Z06 was a road race option from back in the day, they brought it back with the C5 and now they are keeping it I mean if you think about it makes sence to keep it everyone knows what Z06 means now!

I didn't think there was ANY way that Ti con rodes would go into this beast. Then again, the speculated price point has jumped from 60k to 75k. What a Car! I now think GM has overshadowed the Ford GT and Viper
